TEXAS can’t afford to pay them? Can’t Perry find the money somewhere in his budget? If states are going to cite the lack of money as reason for not calling up the Natl Guard during a time of definite need, then what the hell good IS the Natl Guard? Then if it isn’t the Natl Guard, what about the state militia? What’s the going rate for the Natl Guard vs the state militias? Good God Almighty, if it isn’t one excuse it’s another.
They can’t find money to stop the invasion, but they can find it to support the invaders.

You are just another freeloader from a state that that has contributed more than your fair share to the country's problems!
